## Project Architecture
2018-09-03 07:45:18 +08:00
The host (see GUI/host folder) injects vnrhook.dll (created from the vnrhook folder) into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.< br >
2018-09-30 04:07:08 +08:00
Host writes to hostPipe, vnrhook writes to hookPipe.< br >
2018-08-06 07:10:55 +08:00
vnrhook waits for the pipe to be connected, then injects a few instructions into any text outputting functions (e.g. TextOut, GetGlyphOutline) that cause their input to be sent through the pipe.< br >
2018-09-30 04:07:08 +08:00
Additional information about hooks is shared through a file view (a.k.a. section object) that is mapped to a reference to the TextHook class.< br >
2018-11-04 13:41:39 +08:00
The text that the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI.< br >
Finally, the GUI dispatches the text to extensions before displaying it.
